Advanced Meeting Options Details:

Encrypt Meeting: Encrypts the video connection for increased security. Note: This may not be successful with room-based endpoints.

Crop Video: Cuts the video display to a wider aspect ratio.

Moderator-less Meeting: This allows use of the meeting time without the room owner being connected. Those connected via telephone will not have to wait until the moderator has joined the meeting.

Enable Auto-Recording: Starts recording the meeting automatically as soon as it begins.

Disable Chat Messaging: Turns off the ability to chat via text

Mute Participants on Entry: This feature prevents attendees joining late from disrupting a meeting that has already started. Participants joining a meeting with this setting enabled are notified that they are muted upon joining.

Silent Participant Entry Mode: This turns off visual and audio notifications when participants enter and exit the meeting.
